Ron White inks deal with Comedy Central

Net orders pilot presentation for show starring comedian

On the heels of his latest highly rated stand-up special on Comedy Central, Ron White has inked a deal with the network for his own show.

Comedy Central has handed out a pilot presentation order to "The Ron White Show," a half-hour program designed to showcase the blue-collar comedian's opinionated persona.

On the show, which will feature branded segments, remotes and story telling, White will look at stories nationwide, focusing on the heartland, through his everyman perspective.

White created the show with Eddie Feldmann ("Dennis Miller Live"). The two are exec producing with White's manager, John MacDonald, and with Michael Pelmont, Brian Volk-Weiss and Barry Katz of New Wave Entertainment, which manages Feldmann.
